A blog about my life with rheumatoid arthritis and all that goes along with it. The ups and downs. The highs and lows. The laughter and the tears. Sounds so dramatic, doesn't it?!

WHAT A RENTAL CAR!

Today I took my car in to finish the work on it. It needed some belts that the dealer had to order. I needed to go somewhere so I got a rental car. When I arrived at the rental car place, I told them I wanted a small car. The guy comes back with a black 2017 Ford Mustang convertible.

Let me tell you, that is a fun car! It is really powerful. I had to watch my speed; without realizing it I was going 85 miles an hour. It is also a magnet. People look at it everywhere you go. Folks with other fast cars look at you. I had a guy with an older Mustang pull up along side me and rev his engine because he wanted to race! No one ever wants to race me in my VW!! In my VW people always say "what a fun car!" This is a muscle car and boy was it a lot of fun to drive for a day.

I really liked the mustang horse that lights up on the ground outside the doors when you park the car. How cool is that?

Unfortunately I had to give it back. But I got my baby back and since it will be a nice weekend, I may have the top down all weekend.

Happi News: Still no word from the specialist. He left town for the weekend. Happi's doc tried to talk to him again but the specialist left another message saying he really wanted to talk to Happi's doc. No message saying Happi is OK means there is something the specialist wants to convey. Not sure why the specialist can't leave a message. Guess he has not heard of a new invention called "voicemail". Now we have to wait until Tuesday. I have been instructed to keep Happi from going downstairs as much as possible. Going upstairs is fine. How do you go up without going down? Can anyone solve that riddle?

About Me

WELCOME!
I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis almost 20 years ago but I know I have had it for longer. I was lucky that once the symptoms became evident, I was diagnosed quickly and put on medication quickly. I know that makes me one of the lucky few. I have a diagnosis of Adrienne's Disease which consists of Rheumatoid Arthritis, Sjogren's Syndrome, Pernicious Anemia, Raynaud's Disease, and Interstitial Cystitis.
I live with my two dogs (Happi and Lucky) and bird (Sunshine, Sunny for short). We call Happi the "Big Dog" and Lucky the "little dog".
I am fortunate to work for myself as a consultant after working for many years at "regular" jobs.
This blog was created to tell my story and to help others understand and learn more about the world of RA/chronic autoimmune diseases. It will be a place of education, advocacy, storytelling and humor. I know I could not get through this without lots of laughter! They say it is the best medicine (after my Enbrel, Prednisone, and Topomax)!
